General framework of the activity
The SYDELA is a mixed syndicate that brings together 180 communes and 14 inter-communalities of the Loire-Atlantique department.
THE MISSIONS OF “ORGANIZING AUTHORITY”
- The SYDELA organizes the public service of electricity distribution on behalf of the 180 communes which have delegated this competence to it. For this mission, it entrusts the operation of the network to the concessionaire Enedis, a subsidiary of EDF.
- The SYDELA also organizes the public service of gas distribution on behalf of the communes which wish it. It carries out the operations of devolution of the public service and entrusts the construction and operation of the network to the selected service provider.
The specifications of the concessions define the respective obligations of the parties involved. The SYDELA has the obligation to control the correct application of these specifications and to investigate users’ complaints.

Specific skills in the MRE field
The energy unions of the Pays de la Loire region are at the forefront of implementing the energy transition. Grouped within the Pays de la Loire Energy Cluster, they have built a privileged partnership with the Region, which places them as major operational relays in the regional roadmap adopted last December.
Projects in MRE
SYDELA is one of the partner in the WEAMEC project EMA “Eolien Market Agreements”, coordinate by the LEMNA, an Université de Nantes research laboratory.
The EMA project builds energy mix scenarios applied to the French power system, in line with commitments of the national Energy Transition Act (LTECV, 2015; PPE, 2019). The goal is to simulate the mass deployment of the off-shore wind energy in 2035/2050, in order to assess the market effects from a system perspective with concern to balance and flexibility needs. A model is built to optimize the dispatching of all generator types (with programmable output and with intermittent input) and describes the operation of the power market at hour time-step over one year, based on the merit order of marginal costs.
